23.01.2022 New fence built surrounding Broome Visitor Centre already deterring drunken antisocial crime. A 1.8m fence erected around Broome Visitor Centre to stop nearby itinerant people on drinking binges from abusing and threatening workers and tourists is already stamping out the deep-rooted problem. The $70,000 structure, which was completed this week, was built around the CBD facility because grog-fuelled antisocial behaviour on the adjoining Male Oval had become so prevalent staff... were having to lock themselves inside hours after closing over fears for their safety. BVC president David Galwey spoke out about the intensifying issues workers were facing each day earlier this year, which included the centre’s deck being covered by vomit, urine, faeces, empty alcohol bottles and cans, smashed glass, filthy clothing, ripped-up tourist pamphlets, cigarettes, drug pouches, and empty food cartons each morning. He said one night workers could not leave until dark when a group were trying to stab each other with sticks right near the entrance. The issue primarily involves itinerant people from nearby dry communities who come to Broome to purchase takeaway alcohol without having a safe place to stay. They are among those the State Government and local council are hoping to target with a pending banned drinkers’ register and liquor limit roll-out across the Kimberley. Source: West Australian

09.01.2022 Indonesia Market Worries Cattle Exporters THERE is growing uncertainty among live cattle exporters about whether Indonesia will continue to be a sustainable market in the next 12-18 months. Western Australian Livestock Exporters Association chairman John Cunnington, Halleen Australisian Livestock Traders business development officer, said with the price at $3.80 per kilogram for Indonesia it was difficult to see how the market wouldn't start looking for an alternative supply ...source, such as South America. WA cattle exports reached 170,945 head from January 1 to September 30. In September, 1924 head of cattle were shipped to Vietnam, 3269 to Indonesia and 2061 to Malaysia, all from the Broome port. Fremantle saw just 199 head shipped to Kuwait and 160 head to the United Arab Emirates. October figures are expected to be released by the Department of Agriculture in the coming days but figures are expected to rise after a number of shipments in the past few weeks.

07.01.2022 Remote Community’s Call For Liquor Ban Answered The McGowan Government has responded to local concerns and declared the community of Kadjina in the Shire of Derby-West Kimberley a liquor restricted area, taking the total number of communities with liquor bans in place up to 26. Racing and Gaming Minister Paul Papalia implemented the ban under section 175 of the Liquor Control Act 1988, which prohibits liquor from being brought into, possessed or consumed in the area.... Kadjina is located on Millijidee Station, about 190kms south-west of Fitzroy Crossing. It has a population of around 50-90 people. The restrictions came into place on November 7 as a means of reducing alcohol-related harm in the community, following calls from community leaders to introduce regulations. Consultation was undertaken with community leaders on the proposal and its capacity to reduce social and physical harm related to excessive alcohol consumption. The move was supported by WA Police and the Shire, with the restrictions to be in place for the next five years.

Do you support them or dead against them?... The strict exemption criteria to enter the state will be scrapped so people will no longer need a special reason to travel to WA. There are conditions however, including New South Wales and Victorian arrivals being required to self-quarantine for a fortnight and take a coronavirus test on day 11.
